Evening All!
Exquisite Corpse is an art style I found out about recently, which was followed by learning that it can be applied to RPG's!
So, I love getting input from this forum, let's build us a random adventure! Basically, let's assume a party of five, tenth level adventurers Is sitting in a generic tavern. I'll write the first section, and please continue the adventure in whatever possible way you decide with your next forum post. Each new post will be a continuation of the level, written from the GM's perspective, to throw at my players. Feel free to add NPC's, hazards, monsters, traps, change environment, anything! Who knows where it will go, or how it will end, but, with that said, let it BEGIN:
You're sitting with your allies in a crowded tavern. The floor is sawdust, the air thick with tobacco smoke, music is being strummed joyfully from a harp-wielding bard on a central stage. Your table is thick with ham hocks, pewter goblets of red wine, cards, dice, and few stray weapons that were sitting uncomfortably upon your belts.
Laughing merrily, singing along, enjoying the elements of the room, you're suddenly shocked sober as an immediate thud and jerk rumble the foundations of the inn. Plates fall from shelves, goblets spill their contents, and patrons are thrown from their stools. The melody twists to a screech as the bard falls prone from the stage, landing unceremoniously upon his harp.
Silence. Nobody in the tavern speaks for a moment as the shock of the earthquake sets into the crowd. At that moment, the door to the tavern opens...
